Buttons

Jinks--thank you for your kind words! Papa is not a psycho, like someone has said. He was going through a confusing, hard hard time and voiced his pain here (it was his only outlet at the time, and it was not pretty). I am his wife and follow this thread, so I saw your comments in my email. He has a ton of ideas (I can see the list, now, lol) and is working on several projects. We've found a different outlet and path to take to make his games a reality, so if you are interested, you may send me a message.

To the people who have expressed interest in this project of Papa's: He really appreciates your support! He has been going through a lot which is difficult to explain so that the true magnitude cannot be easily understood or felt. He has not given up on Street Fight World, or his other works, and is hoping to be able to refocus on them soon. If you are interested in how he is doing, you can check him out on instagram (silfeather_opa) or on Reverb Nation (www.reverbnation/megamaiden), where he has a blog that is more light-hearted and akin to his nature. Some of his music is there now, but there will be more coming, including songs he would like to put into his games. Thank you, again, for those of you who are interested!

I appreciate your positive comments! Papa and I were just talking about this earlier this evening. He has lots of projects in the works, many of which are on pause. He has repeatedly gotten his heart broken, so these projects have not been recently a focus of his attention. It doesn't help when someone says he will look at his games but then never gets back with him. Street Fight World is not far from being complete, but where it goes from here is unknown.

Is that the half-pinball-half-video-game machine that Papa said he played when he was younger?

On a side note, it's really nice to see everybody's CRTs! (which Papa just called See R Tease, lol)

BONUS: I have a couple of games I would like to make for homebrew Atari 2600 (and hopefully, I WILL, eventually!). I would like to make a shaving game where you shave various body parts for different levels of difficulty: legs, armpits, back, arms, mustache, monobrow, face, head, nether regions, etc. Hair will grow constantly, too, just at different speeds, or not at all (for beginning levels). There would be a secret ending for the beard level, where if you just leave it alone, and let it grow full on, you automatically win as NATURAL MAN, lol. And I just gave away the secret. The other game I want to make is tentatively called "Parasite Hunter" where you shrink down really little and go inside bodies to destroy the parasites from within! I would like for this one to be somewhat realistic and educational, where the parasites you kill are based on real parasites living creatures can get, and you kill them with methods that are really used to eradicate them. Candida yeast infections making bloated bellies on people can be fought, too! Just hero work on a miniaturized level. Different animals and people could be levels (such as the snails that crawl to the tops of trees with their parasite-ridden eyestalks acting as beacons to flying birds, crying out "EAT ME! EAT ME!") , as well as different locations (like sheep flukes in human hearts, tape worms in the intestines, the aforementioned candida, etc.). As a side project, I would reprogram Chase the Chuckwagon to NOT restart the timer of paralyzation every time Chuckie is stunned to allow for less frustrating gameplay. :-)

New score for Crystal Castles: 32603

I appreciate it! I tried to take advantage of this, but to no avail, ha ha! I could not increase my score at all on Chase, but I realized two things while trying: 1) The little dog resembles those magnet scottie dog toys my sister had when we were kids, and 2) It's probably the cutest animation of a dog I've ever seen. So, since I wasn't connecting well with that game, I focused on Crystal Castles and improved my score there! Congratulations on your great score and I wish you swift recovery. :-)

Errrrgh! Lol. Here I was, so happy with my second place score on the bonus game...and THEN! Here comes Jin! (Papa said the high score was from the freshly exorcised thyroid demons... :-) ) Anyway, I will try again, but very nice job! I liked this game way better than Crystal Castles, and have never even played them before this week (to be honest, I have only played three handsful or so of Atari games, lol).

Ha ha! I suck at Crystal Castles, but I really like Chase the Chuckwagon! My score for Crystal is: 15294 My score for Chase is: 1655

I know who a certain hero is even with his mask on.

YAY!!! A successful superimposition! Last winter, some meanies vandalized an ice sculpture in our downtown area, knocking out the letter "i" in our city. Soooooo, I superimposed one of Papa's recent photos and made HIM the I in Richmond. This was great fun and highly amusing to me. P.S. I will work on better blog titles. I am not that creative.

I LOVE CHASE THE CHUCKWAGON!!! I read terrible reviews of it and it hasn't seemed to have gone over that well, here, either...but I was mad at it at first because of those goofy falling dishes and I couldn't figure out what to do, so I'm pounding the button and Chuckie just walked and looked down at the dishes that fell. Good grief! It helped to look up the directions! lol It is a bit frustrating when you get in JUST the right position to keep getting stunned so you're stuck til you DIE. But, other than that, I thought it was way fun! If I post a score now, can I repost if I get a higher score? Thanks!

Do I get to be on the main list yet? NVM--I just saw me on the new list! At my favorite number, no less!

Okay, I re-read the instructions for the bonus...since it specifies favorite cartoon, and anime has been cleared for take off, I would like to change my fav (if it's okay!) to... Gurren Lagann! Now, please keep in mind, I have only seen Season 2, but it is my favorite because it has a giant robot powered by WILL and teamwork. And because it is about self-becoming (and has pretty girls). And it made me cry and cry and cry, so I love it! Also, people, as a group, make a decision because they feel it is the right thing to do, but do they know the whole story, and is it the right thing to have done?

Okay, here are my "high" scores, lol. Popeye: 9200 Smurfs: 27800 He-Man: 4300 I'm trying to add photos... ...and THERE we have it.
